Killing Beef for Hebrews.

AS is well known, the Israelities are
very particular as to the use of butchers
meat, which, in order to be KOSHER. e.,
to comply with the ritual requirements
ought only TO be taken from animals that
are killed not only in the presence of,
but by a person of the faith, specially ap-
pointed for the purpose. Complaints in
this respect have been of frequent occur
renee, many butchers or dealers of game
and fowl offering their Jewish clients
"unclean' meat. At a recent trial of
this kind in Berlin the rabbi of the prin-
cipal synagogue was called upon the
stand and testified as follows: THE
Mosaic law requires that the Jew butcher
be a person of good reputation and
morals, and, after undergoing an ex-
animation by the rabbi, should only ex-
ercise his particular function on the
strength of a certificate. One of the
tests of his fitness for the place consists
in promptly r~esharpening a knife which
the rabbi has purposely blunted. Dur
ing the act of butchering he has to say
certain prayers; he must see that the
blood falls upon the ashes of peat, and,
above all things, he must avoid being
touched by any n while in the act, this
in itself rendering the slaughtered animal
unclean. He is required to put his seal
upon the carcass, giving the date on
which the animal is killed. No I~sraelite
is permitted to eat fowl which has been
killed more than three days before. -

If you are troubled with insomnia
these sultry nights just turn the faucet
of cold water in your bath room for a
minute or two upon your feet and then
thoroughly dry them. Haul taut your
musquito bar, let your head lie low, and,
like the pious country blacksmith in his
pew at church, close your eyes and think
of nothing. The cold water drives the
blood to the head and produces a sopor-
ific effect. One of the big Portuguese
onions sliced and neatly seasoned and
eaten with thin bread, in the form of
sandwiches, would be good. An ordin-
airy United States onion will do if the
great big fellows are out of the market.
Onions are full of opium. Let business
and all mental labor go out Of your head.
Keep the thoughts of maturing notes, in
terest upon mortgages, the good looking
chap that was attentive to your best girl,
and all such enemies to repose ON the
outside of your musquito netting New

TIPS.

The winter ulster is welcomed again
like a long lost brother returned home
wealthy.
Those in a position to know say the
Burlington will enter into no combination
to occupy the new Union Pacific depot.
Such arrangements always result in con
slant clashing of authority, and the Bur
lington is built in such a way that it wants
to be cock OF the walk in its own depot.
The coming territorial fair will be a
notable success should the weather prove
at all propitious. The attendance from
abroad will be very large and those who
come here may be assured in advance of a
hearty welcome and a creditable exhibi-
ton.
There are many indications that this
fall will be a lively one for Cheyenne.
So far this has been an off year Of the
most decided character but when the re-
action sets in the busy hum of industry
will make the public ear ache.
The people of Cheyenne would be de-
lighted to see the Union Pacific begin
work on a big extension of their shops
but if even the present shops were run to
their fullest capacity for a year to come
nobody would be disposed to raise serious
objections.
Laramie City Is feeling highly elated
over its handsome new university build
ing, which is receiving pictured repre-
sentation and glowing eulogy in the local
press. A circular of general information
has Just been issued by the faculty. The
fall term of the university begins Tues
day, Sept. 6.
After a long delay the tower on the
new Union Pacific depot is again under
construction. When the building is en-
tirely completed it will form as good an
advertisement for Cheyenne as one could
well desire.
The New York EpenHg San started
the story some time ago that wherever a
red headed girl appeared a white horse
was certainly to be seen in the same
neighborhood. Two young men stoed at
Rhodes & Troxell's Yesterday when an
auburn haired young lady came tripping
along, daintily picking her steps over the
muddy cross walk. Where's the white
horse?" asked one of the youths. One
was seen standing in front of the Union
Mercantile company's store, another in
front of Stable & Fishers office, while a
third sedately ambled up Ferguson street
carrying a rider. And the red headed
girls locks weren't very fiery, either. The
affinity between red headed girls and
white horses is difficult Of demonstration,
but of the TACT that there is some occult
bond of sympathy between them there
appears to be little doubt.

Good Results in Every Case.

D. A. Bradford, wholesale paper deal
er, of CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, writes that he
was seriously afflicted with a severe cold
that settled on his lungs; had tried many
remedies without benefit. Being induced
to try DR.. Kings New Discovery for con-
sumption, did so and was entirely cured
by use of a few bottles. Since which
time he has used it in his family for all
coughs and colds with best results. This
is the experience of thousands who have
bee saved by this wonderful discovery.

REGARDING the extension of the Chey-
n n K Northern into the Black Hills
country, which is at present under discus
sion, the Lusk Herald makes the follow
ing sensible remarks: There is n feasible
route from the present terminus of the
CHEYENNE Il Northern through the Platte
canyon and Muskrat, then east of Raw
hide Buttes onto a level prairie. From
there to Lusk over the finest agricultural
country in the West, and on north with
out any heavy grades to Sundance aud
other Black Hills points. BY taking this
route the road would strike the richest
copper mines in the world at Platte, Wha-
len and Muskrat canyons and Rawhide,
to say nothing of immense mountains of
mica and heavily paying lodes Of
silver. 1t would also tap the newly
discovered fields of beautiful marble
at Muskrat, which are pronounced by
competent Judges to.be i~nexhaustible and
of the finest quality. All these canyons
also contain endless quantities of the finest
cunning s'OuS' Hahs III paNeuiCht' Sltee
for roofing, mineral paint and mountains
of the finest hematite iron ore. From
Rawhide north it would tap the fertile
valley of the Running Water, which in
" or three years will produce small grain
enough to feed the territory, and a vast
region around Sundauce which is as fertile
as Eden, These two last localities are
the only extensive sections in Wyoming
where the rainfall is sufficient to produce
crops without artificial irrigation. There
is no doubt that the U. p. will eventually
see the necessity of tapping these vast
wealth producing districts.

This is characteristic Of the ants.
They are afraid Of the whole truth,
and in their statistics only give half
the facts. For instance, in Maine the
95l " retailers" include druggists who
have to take out Federal license to
sell for medicinal purposes and the
many daring men who risk the S25
expense of Federal license, undertake
to run saloon, but are Immediately
closed up by state authorities. There
have been instances in both Maine and
Kansas where at one location ten TO
fifty mon have taken out rs many Fed
eral licenses during year and Oeen
prohibited by state authorities. These
licenses, are all made TO count as actu-
al retailers" when the truth is, al
together they didn't retail a
gallon before closed up by the State.
Arkansas and Alabama are both near
ly all under local option prohibition,
and this fact, not given by the ants,
accounts for the small number of re-
tail licenses in those states. The num-
Der reported in Iowa includes in addi-
ton TO druggists hundred of the
RETAILERS" who have been put in jail al
Sioux City, and jailed and run away
at various other points in the State.
In Maine the number includes forty
who were imprisoned at Portland al
most in one month, and like prohibit
ted retailers in various other parts Of
the State. The ants may undertake
to prove that prohibition doesn't pro-
hibit in Maine and Iowa, and that there
are more happy retailers in those
States than ia Others where saloons are
licensed, but it is clear enough that
they do not want the same kind Of
freedom in this State.

have these certificates traded in very
much as grain certificates or stock GER

Galveston well, and the flow is fully as
good MS that was at first. He secured
this afternoon and will continue to-mor-
row. The calculation is that the amount
will be nearly as great as that in Calves
ton and quite as much as will be needed.
The water is pure, soft, not very cold
ard suitable for cooking and laundry use.
This gives Il new and favorable aspect to
things, and no doubt more and greater
improvements will result.

L. !. Coyle, editor of the Southwest

going to the Alamo with sledgeham-

Theresa, which stood at the right side
on entering, to pieces. The statuary
was discovered in 1907 while workmen
were engaged in making excavations for
building on Houston street. and was
placed in the Alamo. On the breast of
the image was masonic emblem, con
sisting of square and compass. This
is what gave olTense to the editor, who
is a very devout Jesuit, and who was in
the Irish company Of Pontifcal volun-
teers during the Garbaldi war. Coyle was
arrested and was interviewed by repor-
ter. He said the statuette was an oifense
to Catholics and so intended. He hal
written to Gov. Ross to have it removed
and that official replied that he could
not order its removal without consent of
the city of San Antonio. He said it was
his intention to destroy the Alamo with
dynamite if he could not otherwise
secure the removal of the Objectionable
image.
